Could this be related to depression TW self harm

I have posted already but didn’t get any traffic I have had a stressful month. So much has gone wrong and DH and I feel like we have been battered by stress. I hit an absolute low last week and wanted to self harm. I was an absolute mess and just couldn’t cope anymore. I spoke to the GP who reminded me of how I get through this (I’ve been on anti depressants due to trauma for most of my life). I barely showered or got dressed last week and crawled through (I work from home). At the weekend I felt exhausted. Not a little bit tired but can’t keep my eyes open tired. This has contributed today. I’m exhausted but have been going to bed early. I had bloods last week for something else and all were fine.
I feel like I’ve shut down. I’m exhausted and struggling to stay awake. Can depression do this? I’ve never had this before but have always had depression 😢

Google tells me it can but wanted to hear personal experiences if I can. I want to “shake” this feeling!

Yes depression will cause this. You need to find something to distract you when you feel like this, or if you’re tempted tell somebody asap.

It will also cause the exhaustion too sorry forgot to add that

I have had self harm thoughts before but this is the first time ever I’ve felt this exhausted from it all!
